Teacher tip
J has a tail and a dot. Show where to start the hook.
How to use it
- Hold up the letter and let kids show a thumbs up when they hear a word with that sound.
- Say the sound with a picture and a motion, like a buzzing hand for /b/ in bee.
- Use it in a small reading group so you can hear each child sound out a few words.
Watch for
b, d, p and q mix-ups. Teach “bat before ball” for b: the line comes first.
Talk about it
- Whose name in our class starts with this sound?
- How did you figure out that word?
